Well,I can consider it if the price paid is attractive enough.I could do so much with some extra money and if I can get a good sum for something which is well,not too big a price to pay for me,yup,I'd go for it.Obviously,I wouldn't want the world to watch me naked but if the camera is not intended for some mischievous use then I can live with it...:)

Oh Hell no! I need my privacy. Home Should be a safe haven, not a movie for everyone to watch.

i will never allow anyone to put cameras in my home for money , i have seen many reality shows and found that this is really riduclous and why they have made this kind of shows , i mean privacy is something which important for all and if we don't have any privacy then how we can live in life , it sound rediculous that people watching everything we doing in the home , i have seen big brother and big boss but never developed intrest in watching the shows .This is my opinion.

Yes, I would allow cameras in my house for a price. There is nothing to hide here. It would have to be a pretty huge amount to satisfy me. The only place i wouldn't let them have a camera would be the bathroom. That's pretty private!

No, I would not allow cameras inside the house mainly coz I would not be able to be myself. I watch a very popular show on Discovery Travel & Living called John & Kate plus 8 where a couple with 8 small kids share their day with the viewers with the cameras inside their house capturing so many moments and incidents. One reason why that show is so popular I think is because it shows the trails and tribulations of the parents throughout the day and the kids are so lovely and naughty and you can just relate to them in most ways. And this is possible coz the couple and the kids manage to keep their normal self which I would not! I would become too shy or conscious and the show would ultimately flop and I wont get my money either…so why bother in the first place???!!!

I would not like cameras in my home at all. I like my privacy in my home. I would not want someone to know every move that I make either. It would not be so pleasant for them to see me sleep or shower and such.

Hi ronnyb, No, I would not let cameras into my house for any price. I hate cameras anyway and I really really value my privacy. Just before Christmas we had maintanence people coming in and out doing work. They were all nice men and just doing their job but I just felt an invasion on my privacy. Not sure why but I know without question that I would not handle cameras being on me in the privacy of my home.

No way.I look awful till about 11 am and could not put up with the bad publicity ,normally I go out the door looking like a super model all five foot 4 inches of me.Only my husband and close family are allowed to see me before the transition of slightly over weight mother of three is ready for her public.Not a pretty site,besides who on earth would be interested in watching me do the washing,swearing at the cold callers and my son walking round in his boxers half asleep,then there my friend pauline our conversations,watching us eat lunch monged out infront of the tv.Then theres the pole dancing lessons and all the people fencing all the stuff my husband brings home.The wild parties that go on till three am most mornings.Not enough goes on to make it interesting enough,no we are to boring.sorry.

No, no, no, and no. I really don't want my life to become a "Truman Show". No one needs to see me when I go pee or when I get dressed or anything like that. There is no amount of money that would get me to put my life out there for God, mother, and countries to see.

of course not!!i have to protect my privacy.but if the price is very high,such as 100 dollars everyday,then i will consider about it.but the time must be limited,such as one day,two days or at most for one week.

HELL NO, i am really addicted to my privacy and personal space. money isn't that important and if i do not have any, i will rather live without it than letting someone follow me with a camera. i will never let any strangers in my house in the first place, no matter the cost. I cannot believe people do such things, it must be unhealthy do tings like that for money or 30 seconds of fame.

i would never do it, but watching my life on camera would be hilarious, especially lately, where i spend all my day watching tv, and on my computer or cleaning, then head over to my boyfriend's when he gets off work, i would love to see how long someone would sit and watch my boring life lol

I would have to say no as I would feel that cameras could ruin mine and my husband's relationships. I've heard in passing about Jon and Kate Plus 8 and I think that the cameras in their lives brought stress, and that is one reason why they split up. In any case, I would only invite cameras in, if I could say when they film and when they don't, as well as be able to review it before it goes on air, and before editing.

No, I would not. I like, love, and cherish my privacy far too much for that!My husband wouldn't be too happy about it, my daughter would give me hell for it (does not live with us, but I can see the complaints now), and I would be far too stressed.
